with seines; in 1890 the catch amounted to 767,353 pounds, valued at $23,650. Gill 
netsand trammel nets in the same year took 508,300 pounds, worth $18,362. The yield 
of cast nets is very small, being oidy 40,500 pounds in 1890, for which the fishermen 
received $1,012. Lines, which are somewhat important in the vessel fishery, took only 
15,000 pounds of catfish in the shore fishery. Besides fish proper, seines and gill nets 
took 4,700 pounds of terrapins, valued at $940, the catch being nearly equally divided 
between the two kinds of apparatus.
